Hey there, so a few weeks ago when I first got my male RT from Petco I noticed that the local guy had a female RT, but he was asking $180. I talked him down to $100. I checked the sex before i made the offer, turned out to be a nice looking female. im not sure if she is naturally just a lighter colored Russian or if it had something to do w/ her poor enviroment. she was in a all glass 40gal breeder tank, no substrate, no heat lamps, the fluorescent tube wasnt even on and i doubt it was even UVB. anyway i couldn't resist buying her, i had 3 extra 50gal tubs and plan on keeping them separate for a while till they both check out to be w/o parasites. so right now they are in tubs next to eachother. when i first got her home i soaked her for a good 20min. she just hid in her shell almost the whole time, then i set her in front of some spring mix but she didnt eat. i took some pics of the 2 of them next eachother, it was like 5min at most just to get some pics. i still dont have names picked out for them really.the white crap on her shell is Vitashell. i noticed that my male has upturned marginal scutes on his rear. the female looks normal i guess. any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
